Operating Recommendations

This new ORECK XL21 High-Speed Upright is one of the finest, fastest,

and strongest units in its class. You’ll love the way it cleans, gets under

things, and it’s SO lightweight and easy to use.

The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation:

1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag—FIRST

PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.

2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.

3. If at any time the machine does not pick up properly or makes an

unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.

Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other small

objects, it is recommended that these be removed from the floor

before you vacuum. Failure to do so may result in permanent

damage to the motor suction fan and its housing.

ARNING:

Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet

surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is

dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp

surfaces is not covered under warranty.

REPLACE THE BELT EVERY 6 MONTHS, SCENT CARTRIDGE

EVER

MONTH,

AND MOT

OR FIL

TER EVERY 2 MONTHS.

7. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month—even

if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause odor,

attract moisture, and can af

fect the efficiency of the cleaner.

DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving

brush could damage the cord.

General Information

The performance of your new cleaner greatly depends upon care and

maintenance. The instructions in this manual will guide you in performing

basic care and maintenance. To obtain the most satisfying years of

service read the instructions and keep them handy for future reference.

AUTION—Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor

Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes

Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of

cleaning. The roller brush may also scuff very soft finishes. Do not

operate the unit while in the upright and locked position. Do not let the

unit run while in any one stationary position for any period of time. Keep

the unit moving while in operation.

To Adjust or Replace Brush

position for most types of carpets. When using vacuum primarily on

Berber Carpets, adjust brush roll to the

SPECIAL setting.

belt and brush roll from the housing.

fig. 22 Rotate both end cards of the brush roll to show “SPECIAL” and

replace in the holding channels of the housing.

fig. 23 NOTE: The one marked “SPECIAL” has several ribs on top of

the end card.

fig. 24 The brush end card setting marked “NORMAL” has one rib.

When rotating bearings, make sure both end card assembly

settings are the same and face up when replacing the brush roll.

Reassemble the belt and the baseplate.

Disposable Paper Filter Dust Bags

Disposable paper filter dust bags play a very important role in the

efficiency of your ORECK vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the filter bag

is to trap dirt, but at the same time it must be porous enough to allow air

to pass through. If the filter bag becomes clogged, no air can pass

through the cleaner and cleaning cannot take place, regardless of the

cleaner’s power. Increase the CLEANING POWER of your cleaner by

changing the bag at least once a month—even if it is not full!

DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATED ON THE DUST BAG.

Be sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is installed properly.

All paper dust bags are not the same. Your ORECK disposable

dust bags have been designed to be used with the ORECK cleaner.

Using bags other than genuine ORECK disposable bags will affect

the cleaning ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.

EPA-Celoc

ypo-Allergenic Filter System

The HEPA-Celoc outer bag of your vacuum cleaner is high filtration

medical material designed to filter the smallest of dust particles. It is

important the inside of the outer bag be cleaned. Hand wash the outer

bag, turned inside out with warm water and air dry

If desired, the

HEPA-Celoc outer bag can be replaced for renewed efficiency. The

Celoc layered disposable inner dust bag must be replaced once a

month even if it

is not full. Change it more often if it is used in

extremely dirty areas.

The Belt

The belt on your vacuum cleaner controls the speed of the revolving

brush and is very important for the effective operation of the cleaner. If

the belt becomes stretched or cut, it will cause the revolving brush to

stop completely or slow down. See instructions in the manual for

replacing belt.

An extra belt is stored in the baseplate of your cleaner. When

buying replacement belts, use ONLY ORECK genuine belts. Belts

other than Oreck belts will not operate the revolving brush

correctly and may create undue stress which will cause damage to

the motor and brush bearings. Using belts other than ORECK belts

will void the warranty.

Motor Filter

The motor filter is used to filter tiny particles released by the motor

exhaust while in operation. The motor filter is not necessary for

operation but is helpful in removing contaminants from the air.

NOTE: Motor filter should be replaced every two months for best

performance.

Oreck Fresh Air

Cartridges

An Oreck Fresh Air

Cartridge adds a desired fragrance to the air while

vacuuming. It is placed behind the motor filter and uses heat and air

generated from the motor to spread the fragrance.

NOTE: Cartridge should be replaced every month when filter dust bag

is replaced or as desired.

Lubrication

The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed.

Further lubrication is not required.

General Cleaner Care

fig. 9 At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint,

string or hair from revolving brush. Patented cleaning grooves

on brush roll will allow easier cleaning.

ipe the outside of the cleaner with a damp cloth.

Also clean the

connector deflector assembly area, base of cleaner and fan housing

area. If there is dust in the outer bag, vacuum it or shake it out.

A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new and

will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.

fig. 32 To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if damaged.

Make sure O-ring is in place against fan housing opening.

Replace and tighten collar until collar locking tabs are locked in

place. Reattach bag spring

(fig. 31)

fig. 35

Many times blockage occurs due to a full dust bag causing dirt to

back down the air flow system. When that happens, the

blockage will be at the top of the system, starting in the area

where the dust bag connects to the connector assembly.

NOTE: If the above actions do not correct the problem, contact an

Oreck authorized service center or call the customer service center.

Scent Cartridge Replacement

WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical

The Motor Filter located at the back of the power head should be

replaced every 2 months. The Scent Disk should be replaced every

month

when changing the inner filter bag.

fig. 26 Press two locking tabs on cartridge cover and remove the cover.

fig. 27 Remove the cartridge holder by lifting on tab at top of holder.

fig. 28 Remove old filter or scent disk from holder. Replace filter or

Using an Oreck Fresh Air

Tab

fig. 29 Your ORECK XL21 vacuum cleaner has a special ORECK

FRESH AIR

tab pocket. This light-colored pocket is located

inside the vinyl bag in the area where the paper disposable bag

attaches to the intake tube. Insert tablet in pocket if desired.

Stuffing or Blockage

IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur inside the the

intake tube and the lower tube assembly. This is due to excessive fuzz

and loose cuttings in the carpet. Stuffing could occur for the first few

cleanings until all the loose material is removed. Due to the high ef

ficiency

of the cleaner, many older carpets will cause stuffing when the cleaner is

first used on them. If your vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly, or

makes unusual noise and the outer bag does not fluff up or balloon open,

follow these steps:

ARNING: Unplug cord from electrical

outlet before servicing.

fig. 30 Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening. If there

is blockage, remove it with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or

coat hanger. If you can not reach the blockage, remove

baseplate.

(fig. 21)

fig. 31 If the blockage is not at the base, remove lower tube. Unhook

retainer spring, releasing bottom of bag.

fig. 32 Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube out of

base.

fig. 33 Check for blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove with a

coat hanger.

fig. 34 If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris with

long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
